The fronts: 18x9 ET37
The rears: 18x10 ET37

Saw a forgeline wheels with these offsets, will they be okay with our m3 with spacers?

I'm assuming 10 - 15mm spacers?

Can't afford to run 19s anymore on the track..

Those would be fine with 15mm in the front, 10mm in the back, but why would you buy wheels that you have to use such big spacers with? I am sure you can find a better fitting set of wheels.

Not many wheels out there in 18" with great fitment for the track. I have a set of VMR 710s in 9.5" et22 and this works well with 275/35 tires all around but is a heavy, cast wheel (approx 25.5 lbs). I use a 12mm spacer on the rear but I could do without it. I like having a little wider track in the rear with a square setup.

I have had on order for the last few months some Volk TE 37s from TCKline Racing in 18x9.5 with an et of 28. I will be using the 12 mm spacer on the rear. These are forged wheels and light (18+ lbs) and hopefully will last a long time.

You might look at DForce LTW5 wheels from Bimmerworld. They are light and purported to be very strong. And they are inexpensive. They do require spacers all around.

+1...

if anything, i'd run 15mm spacers all around or so. but I'd be curious to know what wheels these are too!

[KINGLEH]

I wouldn't run anything bigger then a 10mm spacer on the track...

To make it perfectly flush, you will need like a 20mm spacer for the front and the rear and 20mm spacer isn't recommended for the track.

You'd need 15mm bare minimum to make the wheels look decent and 10mm if you're just looking for functionality.

I have found more wheels in 18" diameters for track use than 19". What is really hard to find is a good selection of R-compound tires in 19" sizes, hence I am going with 18" wheels/tires for the track. IMHO, you can't beat the deal **********s has on F14s in 18" sizes for track wheels.
